Starting over again

Interesting factoid in today’s Yankees game notes:

Tonight’s Yankees starter, Chien-Ming Wang, will be facing former Yomiuri Giantspitcher Koji Uehara for the second time in their baseball careers. They previously started against each other in the 2004 Olympics in Athens during round robin play, when Wang was a member of Team Taiwan and Uehara was a member of Team Japan. Wang recorded a no-decision in the 4-3, 10-inning, Team Japan victory.
